Three Blocks Done for Safari Animals

 


Beatrix Potter Quilt, Quilting Done

 The quilting is done on my friend's Beatrix Potter quilt.  It measures 50" x 57".  It has 80/20 batting, white 50-wt. So Fine thread on top, and pink 60-wt. Bottom Line thread in the bobbin.  My friend wanted light custom quilting.  I used free-motion and rulerwork on an 18" Handi Quilter Avanté.

Row 4, Character Blocks

 The fourth row of character blocks for my friend's Beatrix Potter quilt is done.  One more row of characters, then the bottom borders.  Hopefully, I'll be able to get it done tomorrow.








Rows 2 & 3, Character Blocks

Rows 2 and 3 of my friend's Beatrix Potter quilt are done!  I'm ready to roll the quilt forward to row 4.

More Paper-Piecing, Safari Animals Quilt

 Cutting the fabric and then adding that one large triangle to the 180 three-piece units for the Safari Animals quilt took several hours.  Next, the tan and light brown triangles.  (Yes, I stacked those units back up neatly after I took the picture.  😉 )  Paper-piecing slows things down, but it's accurate. I sure couldn't have rotary cut these sizes!
